Other information

The Graduate Certificate in Accounting and Finance provides a general understanding of the basic elements of accounting and finance. It is designed for students without a strong undergraduate background in accounting and/or finance who need to acquire or update some of the key basic building blocks before proceeding to advanced level subjects in a Master's program. It is also appropriate for students who have no undergraduate degree but extensive practical experience, and who can use the program to prove their ability to undertake postgraduate study.

The Graduate Diploma in Accounting and Finance extends the Graduate Certificate to provide advanced level material in core contemporary accounting and finance issues.

The Master of Business in Accounting and Finance provides advanced level study in a range of contemporary accounting and finance issues.
